Police shot dead six civilians in the southern town of Aksy in 2002 during a peaceful protest. Three officials were given three-year suspended prison sentences, but were immediately pardoned.
The IHF appealed to the Kyrgyz authorities to ensure that a full investigation is carried out into the shooting and ensuing deaths and that these actions do not go unpunished.
